Good evening guys!

Hopefully your truck is working better now Dave.

Should be no reason to be have stinky clothes now Mike.


Well I got the boat all buffed with rubbing compound now to polish and wax.

Here is a teaser pic after just buffing with rubbing compound and no polish yet.

You'll like it. We have had ours over 9 years. They use a lot less soap and water. Couple years ago I had to replace the rear support bearing but other than that its been good. You get the stackable ones? That what we got

That looks good Troy!

I got the solenoid replaced and the solenoid body bolts snugged up. I found a number of them to take 1/8-1/4 and even a couple at 1/2 to get to the 10lb-ft spec. Just filling it up now. Hopefully this pig shifts normally now.

No, didn't get the stackable ones. Plenty of room in there for them side by side. I am going to build my own pedestal for them. Lots cheaper than the almost $200 each they wanted for them in the store.

Hey guys, just a quick fly by. Potluck was good and got a truck load of wood for camping too.

Glad to see you got something done Dave. I have lots of things I wanna do to my truck.

Looks good Troy! I can't wait to see it finished.

I don't think it was the tuner.

This sucks.

Time for a rebuild. Yipee.

Time to put some money together and then have a GTG
